At first glance this place looks nice. Pull in to a flag pole overlooking a big field, where there used to be a ballpark. Short drive down and you find a number of dispersed camp sites. Two immaculate pit toilets. All the sites had picnic tables and fire pits along with grills. Ample trees for hammocks and plenty of space for tents. A huge field that looked great to play ball or throw a frisbee....

The field was crawling with ants, our dogs were getting eaten alive and they were crawling up our legs. It was insane. We retreated back to our campsite where there were fewer ants but they still existed. We built our fire and ate dinner but headed to the tents fairly early to avoid the bugs.

We did come back out to view the amazing night sky. Lightning throughout the valley and stars galore. The flag pole is lit at night so that is pretty cool too.

There is the road that is just at the top of the hill but typically it doesn't see a lot of traffic, there were maybe one or two cars every hour or so. Not bothersome but while doing night photography, the light did throw some pictures off a bit.

Maybe when it's cooler, the ants will be fewer, might try again during a different season.
